At Trine you'll see that learning is never some static thing. It's what challenges and inspires us all at once. When we talk "academics," it's more than a word. It has no limits. And since we were founded, it never has.

Travel to any small, private college in America and you're unlikely to find another that, on football Saturdays, brings the game ball to midfield by helicopter. Or has a championship golf course that's hosted PGA events and NCAA national championships right on campus. Or offers residence halls and apartment-style campus housing that feel more like a vacation resort than a university dorm. At Trine, you will.

Being a member of the nation′s oldest collegiate athletic conference, the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), seeing over 600 student athletes participate in 21 varsity sports, and having some of the finest facilities to field exciting NCAA Division III competitive events is what makes Trine athletes know their college experience will be something they will remember the rest of their lives.

At Trine, our commitment to excellence has formed the bedrock of our experience for well over a century. You'll see it, and you'll feel it, the second you step on our beautiful, 450-acre campus in Angola, Indiana.

Soon-to-be graduates celebrateat Trine's Schererville center

ANGOLA, Ind. – Trine University's commencement ceremony is just around the corner
and one group of students is already celebrating their endeavors.

Students enrolled in Trine's School of Professional Studies in Schererville held a
senior celebration on Friday, April 19.

R. Keith Howard, vice chancellor of Student Affairs for Ivy Tech Community College
of Indiana, Northwest region, addressed the students with a speech about momentum
in education and the United States ranking on the international education front. Ivy
Tech is a partner institution of Trine.

Soon-to-be graduates and their guests dined at cloth-covered tables on a meal provided
by area businesses that sponsored the event. (A complete list of event sponsors is
at end.) Appetizers of burger bites, assorted pickles and fresh fruit were served
before a meal of chicken, pasta, sides dishes, salad and pies and cakes.

"The community and businesses here have been very supportive of this campus and our
students," said Rebekah Morin, campus director. "This celebration would not be possible
without the many contributions from our sponsors."

In addition to providing a full meal, event sponsors also provided gifts for the graduates.
Each senior student received a bag emblazoned with the Trine logo that was filled
with gift cards and presents, along with information about graduate programs.
